To: SENATOR BILL FRISTDear Senator Frist,
As a mother of three small children and a nurse with an interest in Public Health, I am appalled at the current state of our environmental laws as a whole. Specifically, the flagrant disregard for the Clean Water Act is putting our children's drinking water in jeopardy. Basic protections that stop oil companies, mining corporations, factory farms and developers from polluting our waters have been ignored.
I urge you to ensure enactment of the Clean Water Authority Restoration Act (S. 912/H.R. 1356) to keep all of our nation's waters healthy. Passage of the Clean Water Authority Restoration Act is imperative to safeguard our waters for future consumption and recreation.
I respectfully request your leadership in this effort and will be following this issue very closely as the November elections draw near.
Sincerely,
Christine Ann Payne
